Tanz für mich, Salome!!
Remember this post where I reported on Teatro dell'Opera di Roma's super erotic Salome with the late Giuseppe Patanè's daughter Francesca and her "Never Say Never" nude on-stage appearance?
Well, Opera Chic ensures that you don't have to haul yourself over to Rome just to get a glimpse of the action. Patanè certainly bared-it-all (aside from ultra-thin pasties and some fake henna tattoos).
The edited images (with strategically-placed kawaii ^__^) appear below...
However, if you are *still* aching to see Patanè's unedited assets, follow the download links below for the NSFW untinkered, scintillating, smoking-hawt jpegs NSFW:

As dear reader fignaz pointed-out, Patanè is rawkin' teh stockin'.


Many thanks! *BIG smile*
Suitably maidenly just as I thought she would be. Anyone who could possibly refuse this Salome deserves beheading.

CM, I know, she looks amazing. I can imagine that for this Salome, she had to work on both her voice *and* her body.

I still marvel not a little how such a sweet temperate girl of such modesty and breeding came to a role like Salome... I'm certain she does indeed possess a whisper of rebelliousness as is the fashion of today. But nothing a vigorous spanking could not repair....
Interestingly though, I am however musing about the credulity of the later Caballe Salomes when she looked a little like La Cieca. Hardly a nubile 12 year old (no offense to anyone).

goodness! methinks people would attend the opera a lot more if they knew about the rated r features they'd get to see. ;-)

If you look closely at the first photo you can see the outline of what looks like an abbreviated body stocking, much like the one Malfitano sports in the DVD of the Sinopoli performance. Even Mattila at the Met wore something similar despite all the ooo-ing & aaaah-ing in the press about her "nudo integrale." In fact, I don't think anyone has ever done the "full monty" in this opera....

fignaz, you are right. I will update the post with a tighter shot of Patanè's nude bodystocking.
btw, I took a backstage tour at the NYC MET a few years ago during one of the afternoons before Mattila's Salome. When we all entered the lead soprano's dressing room, we saw carefully folded on the counter the grey/white silk slip-dress. And on top of the slip was Mattila's nude thong and paltry body-stocking.
